GlobalSpawn
by DaFuqs
GlobalSpawn lets a server owner set where new players start and where they respawn, through a command or a config file, on Fabric and Quilt.
What it does
The mod sets a shared spawn point for the server. Its initial spawn can be pinned to the position a player first joins at, instead of the default world spawn, which suits a welcome or tutorial area. A separate global respawn point can replace the vanilla respawn behavior for players who have no bed or respawn anchor.
Server owners control the spawn dimension and position from a command or from the mod's config file, so modpack makers can point new players at a custom dimension, for example to start a Nether escape scenario. Cross-dimension spawns are also supported, with a one-time spawn point for new players.
GlobalSpawn needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files cover 1.16.4 – 1.21.5 on Fabric, and the Quilt build targets 1.20.6. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Command and config setup
Spawn dimension and position are set with a command or in the config file the server owner edits.
Initial spawn on first join
New players can be placed at the position they first join at, rather than the default overworld spawn.
Global respawn point
A shared respawn point can be enabled, with the vanilla respawn point used as the alternative.
Cross-dimension spawn
Players without a bed or respawn anchor can be sent to a spawn point in another dimension, once for new arrivals.

Use cases
Custom starting scenarios
Modpacks can start new players in a chosen dimension, such as a Nether escape scenario.
Welcome areas
New players can be spawned in a tutorial or welcome area set up by the server owner.
Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack makers who want to control where players start and respawn. Players on a server that runs the mod need it installed as well.
How it compares
Initial bed is a Fabric client and server mod for 1.20 – 1.20.1 under the Apache License 2.0, and it is not open source. Restriction Respawn Anchor Explosion is a Fabric client-side only mod for 1.16 – 1.21 under the MIT License, so only the client needs it. Home Camp covers Fabric, Forge and Quilt for 1.16.2 – 1.19 and is server-side only, open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
